WEBVTT - Press Pass: Fletcher Cox

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>H Russell Wilson around years ago. Um, I mean when

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you got a guy like that, man, you really I think, Um,

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the main thing is you don't want to chase him around.

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>But to answer your question, is you know he's fasting

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:23.159
<v Speaker 1>to make a lot of plays with his feet, So, um,

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think we'll do a better job this year.

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's playing against him a couple of years ago.

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Knowing what he can do with his feet, we'll do

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>a better job in containing him. That's what makes Seattle

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>so difficult? Is it? Is it the volume? Is it

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>is the fans? Is it? The team? Is it everything?

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're a great team. I mean you know

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>they've um, I mean they do a lot of great things. Um.

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>You know as a group, you know, it's it's nobody

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 1>just you know, singlely, you know, just really just stands out.

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I think they play together as a as a you know,

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>collectively as a team, and that's what make them so good.

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>But ye know, Chim always talks about discipline on the

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>pass rush? Is that even more and that's what when

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>he had somebody like Rosso like an understanding parts. I

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>think the most important thing is what you man, is

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>containing the football, um, you know, and coaches stretch that out.

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>He'll stress it, you know all week, you know, containing

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the football, um, you know, getting his face you know, um,

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know, get a good pass rush. And if

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>if we're sacking them, then he can't get out of

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the pocket. You know, we're getting pressure in his face

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>and making them, you know, make mistakes and make him

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>throw bad throws. Then you know, I think we'll be fine.

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Just stay him. He thinks you guys have the best

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>defense in the NFL. We're playing a pretty good defense.

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Where do you think you stacked up against Seattle? What

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>do you think about being the dusting? I think the

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>main thing that we control, man is you know, we

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>go out on the field every day and get better.

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, and I know that this team, this group

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>will we just go out every day and get better.

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>Do you think this group should be? I mean, whatever

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 1>people talk about the best defense is Seattle is always

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>the first one. You know, they've been doing a long time.

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>If you guys are in that conversation there, yeah, I mean,

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>like I said, man, I can't repeat it. You know,

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>if we go out on the feeling get better, you know,

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>each and every day, and then start say practice, you know,

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>and and and you know, take it over to the

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>game on Sundays. Then we just take a week week

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>by week and not worry about you know, what people

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 1>think about us. And you know, we stay focused and

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>keep the main thing the main thing, and you know,

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the year, we'll see where we're at.

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>We just got to finish, um, like you said, Um,

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>we just gotta finish the last week, even at home,

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>we we finally came over the hump and finished the game. Um.

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>We just gotta come out with more energy and um,

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, and make them match our energy. You know,

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>let's not match them because we're on the road and

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>we want to we want to put the game away quick.

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's that's really what's important to us. You

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>want to put the put the game away quick. Um.

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, stop the run of course, Um, and you know,

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.079
<v Speaker 1>make them beat us throwing the ball. Do you think

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys get the respect and deserve as as a defensor.

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that's something that's kind of developed as

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>a season person. I mean, at the end of the day, man,

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>it's really you know, us believing in each other and

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 1>in that locker room, you know, holding each other accountable. Um,

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.519
<v Speaker 1>that's what we do. And you know, just um, just

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 1>worrying about you know, what's outside of the building. And

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that's kind of a distraction. If you start

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>worrying about what people say and you know how you know,

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.959
<v Speaker 1>how they feel about us, then and then that's a

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>big distraction. You know. As long as we keep playing

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 1>together man, and as a team, you know, we got

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>a chance to be real good. He held the Giants

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>to fifty nine rushing yards and Atlanta was like forty

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>eight or something like that. How confident are you now

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>in the run defense? And how do you think it's

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>gotten better since say the Washington game where they made

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>some plays um being fields goal and stanfields go the

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>whole game. Um, you know, and and plus um, you know,

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>just you know, making those putting them in negative artists plays,

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>talking for losses on firks and second down helps a lot,

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you can't get you know, a Pro

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Bowl like DeVante Freeman going earlier in the game, When

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>when you shut them down the early, don't let them

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>get going. I think it's kind of frustrates, you know,

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 1>any running back because the anxious to get going but

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you stop them early, then you got

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>a really good chance of slowing them down. The whole

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 1>football game looks at the earlier today, if it might

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>be a little bit of time to take rest more

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>on the road to kind of get it out to

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the quick start, how do you prevent that happened in

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the world and maybe trying to do too much role. Well,

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I think we just you know, everybody settled down. I

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>think you know, if we if we come out, you know,

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>settle and everybody focus, um, you know, basically, um you know, offenses,

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, just chipping away at the defense, playing played

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 1>a really good tempo, special teams taking over as always,

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I think you know that it'll come

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:24.119
<v Speaker 1>out real good for us team. Last year with Benny

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>back and the UM, I had a few singles, you know,

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>and I guess, you know, and like I said, you know,

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>got a few singers. You gotta take advantage of it.

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I missed one and Brandon stepped up

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>and got the sack. But that's things that you know,

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people don't see, um, you know, just

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>being another being there for another teammate, happy for him,

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>and I was happy to see Benny back on the field. Um,

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you know he played at a real high level and

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 1>you know his second game getting back to enough the

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>mission a couple of weeks. You know, I think he'll

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, be better anywhere last week, which he was

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 1>real good after not playing for a while. Not team

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.719
<v Speaker 1>cuts there leading running back at this point of the season,

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>what do you, oh, I who you expect to see

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the Seahawks this run? Um? I mean I don't know.

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I think they get they think they get Thomas back.

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Thomas rolls back this week and um, in order and

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>for them to do that, and they didn't mean they

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:09.840
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of confidence and they really believe in

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Thomas Roses uh emerged too for them. What have you

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>seen on film out of out of him? The rookie

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>running back? What have you seen out of him? And

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>what the kind of dynamic he's he's starting to bring

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to that Seattle offense? I mean any any you know

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>all their running backs? Man, I think you know just

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>from watching they run the ball hard. You know they

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>wont cut and want to be downhill. Um, they're gonna

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>make your tackle, make your gang tackle him. And you

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>know just um, I think Russell's is getting you know,

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 1>he's getting healthy, and you know we expect him to

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>run the ball a little bit, probably this game because

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 1>he kind of get his you know, getting his confidence

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 1>back and you know, healing up. Thanks for tak
